Fritz!Box 7590 - Option: Configuring Internet Access by LAN via Another Router (IP Client)

Option: Configuring Internet Access by LAN via Another Router
(IP Client)
Overview
You can use the FRITZ!Box on another router as an IP client. The other
router provides the internet connection.
As an IP client, the FRITZ!Box is integrated into the existing net-
work and can be used as a Mesh Repeater; seeMesh with FRITZ!,
page94.
Operating Mode of the FRITZ!Box
The following apply when the FRITZ!Box uses the internet connection
of another router as an IP client:
• In the default setting, the FRITZ!Box receives an IP address from the
other router via DHCP.
• The FRITZ!Box becomes part of the other router's IP network.
• The network devices connected to the FRITZ!Box receive their IP
addresses from the other router.
• The firewall of the FRITZ!Box is disabled.
• You can use the FRITZ!Box as a telephone system and make tele-
phone calls with connected telephones using the internet connec-
tion of the other router.
Requirements
• The FRITZ!Box is connected with a router that provides the internet
connection. There are two possibilities for connecting the FRITZ!Box
with the router:
- Via the “WAN” socket. The socket must be configured as a LAN
port; see page166.
- Via one of the LAN sockets.
